Detailed Pestle Analysis of CNPC

Political

">1. Government crackdown on organizational corruption across Chinese state owned companies: Corruption is widely rampant in China and can be associated with the idea of ‘guanxi’ which perceives the close relations to be detrimental to a flourishing business. China has formulated a new anti-corruption agency which can examine any government worker in the country. Bo Qiliang, the Vice President of PetroChina, a subsidiary of CNPC was expelled from his position in 2014 and was detained by the authorities who kept him held from leaving the country. Again, more than 120 officials from both CNPC and its subsidiaries were taken into investigation for the supposed corruption. The widespread crackdown on corruption may help in making CNPC more profitable and efficient.

Technological

">1. Greater awareness amongst people on environmental pollution: According to the 2016 statistics, China accounted for one-third of the world’s total emission of carbon – having boosted its financial growth before through heavy usage of coal in industrial departments. However there is increasing awareness amongst people on environmental pollution and thus they are open to seeking alternative energy sources such as solar power. This may reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in the future. Companies such as CNPC also need to pursue innovation and investments in renewables to remain relevant in the longer term.

">2. Increasing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles in China: Chinese are open to adopting electric and hybrid cars to reduce emissions and oil dependence. In 2017, Chinese automakers produced 680, 000 all-electric buses, car and trucks, more than the whole of the world put together. Furthermore, China unleashed more than 200,000 all-electric commercial vehicles last year, when it comes to the heaviest polluters like trucks and buses, leading to about 5% of the total production. China is the pioneer of the mass development of public charging piles with 214,000 already in operation towards the closure of 2017. There are places where people can charge up their cars anytime and are in extra alongside those 232,000 private charging piles installed Chinese electric car owners' own houses.
